Glaucoma - Lasik Term and Glossary

The condition wherein the pressure inside the eye builds up to dangerous levels due to lack of proper drainage of the aqueous humor, the clear, salt water substance that fills the cavity that lies between the cornea and the inner lens of the eye. If left untreated, the condition can cause damage to the optic nerve, with a resulting loss of vision. Since the most common form of glaucoma has few recognizable symptoms, a regular eye examination is very important for anyone over 40 years of age and particularly for those who have a history of glaucoma in the family. Persons with severe cases of glaucoma are usually not good candidates for refractive eye surgery.
